Facts About the Water Cycle

Facts
About the Water Cycle

Here is an easy way of teaching facts about the water cycle to your
students. Please read the water cycle terms and their explanation beside
them.

Evaporation: s a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs from
the surface of a liquid into a gaseous phase that is not saturated with the evaporating substance. The other
type of vaporization is boiling, which is characterized by bubbles of saturated
vapor forming in the liquid phase.

Precipitation: The product of the condensation of atmospheric water
vapor that falls under gravity. The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, and hail.

Infiltrationis the process by which
water on the ground surface enters thesoil.

Percolation:refers to the
movement andfilteringof fluids through porous materials.

These terms were sourced through Wikipedia and amended for younger
children to read.

The facts about the water cycle are easy to understand the teach in the
classroom.

This is an example of the water cycle which you can teach your students.

The clouds have condensed to much, that they
released rain which has fallen into the Ocean, river, lake or body of water.
This water is heated up by the energy from the sun and it evaporates into a
vapour which begins to form clouds. Due to other atmospheric conditions, the
clouds form into larger, heavier clouds and the pressure is released in forms
of sleet, know, rain, and snow. The cycle continues around and around.
